TEER plus electrical cardioversion for severe mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation
Official title: A Study on the Efficacy and Safety of TEER Combined Electrical Cardioversion in Patients With Severe Mitral Regurgitation and Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-Label Randomized Controlled Study
Run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · NCT07741383 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding electrical cardioversion to TEER helps people with severe mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation to have fewer deaths, hospitalizations for heart failure, and strokes within a year.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 and older who had a TEER procedure with residual MR < 2+, no left atrial thrombus, suitable anatomy for electrical cardioversion, and are willing to consent and comply with follow-up.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with very low ejection fraction, recent stroke, contraindications to anticoagulants or antiarrhythmic drugs, or other conditions limiting treatment effect may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates the safety and potential benefit of combining transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with electrical cardioversion in adults who have severe mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation after a TEER procedure. The primary goal is to determine if the combined approach reduces a composite of all-cause death, heart failure hospitalization, and stroke within 12 months, compared with TEER alone. Eligibility requires a successful TEER with residual MR < 2+, no left atrial thrombus, suitable anatomy for cardioversion, and ability to follow up. Key exclusions include very low ejection fraction, recent stroke, contraindications to anticoagulation or antiarrhythmic therapy, and conditions likely to affect treatment assessment. The study is led by the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, with no listed collaborators and site in Hangzhou, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve survival, reduce hospitalizations, and lower stroke risk for patients with this combination of heart valve disease and atrial fibrillation.
How similar studies have gone: Evidence in similar structural-heart interventions supports safety and potential benefit of rhythm-control strategies, but this specific combined approach is relatively novel and evidence is evolving.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years; 2. Successful TEER procedure with residual mitral regurgitation grade \< 2+; 3. No left atrial thrombus, no severe cardiomyopathy, left atrial anteroposterior diameter \< 5.5 cm, and anatomically suitable for electrical cardioversion; 4. Ability to understand the study objectives, voluntarily sign the informed consent form, and willingness to comply with required examinations and clinical follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 20%; 2. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 30 days; 3. Contraindication to anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or antiarrhythmic drugs; 4.
